Bishop-elect of the Catholic Diocese of Rumbek, Monsignor Christian Carlassare was flown on Monday to Nairobi for further treatment, on his social media account he posted today;
“Do not be afraid. This cross inflicts a mortal injury, not on me, but on death. These nails no longer pain me, but only deepen your love for me. I do not cry out because of these wounds, but through them I draw you into my heart. My body was stretched on the cross as a symbol, not of how much I suffered, but of my all-embracing love. I count it no less to shed my blood: it is the price I have paid for your ransom.”
